Before the opera, Hiroko went to see the Macy’s Christmas windows. It was very disappointing the window decorations, because it was not fantastical, magical Christmas story telling windows which were made by the rich and famous people in Chicago. It can be called “the Fantasy of Christmas Ornaments”. Please see my photo and judged by you.
What do you think?
Those Christmas window used to use the theme of the famous Christmas stories such as “Christmas Carol”, “White Christmas,” “Nuts Cracker,” etc. which was much more beautiful and fantastic.
Tallest Tree in the store
It was also very disappointing sight, because there was no train or railroad track. The beautiful train used to run all around the tree. Hiroko used to eat lunch here sitting down by the train.
After the department store, Hiroko went to the city hall square where she visited last year. It is called Christkindlmarket Chicago
This year again the ceramic shoe mugs are sold, but these cups are in blue. I’m glad to get red mug. Don’t you think the red mug is better? I’m glad I bought it last year.
There is beautiful Nativity scene. Hiroko dong’t remember seeing the Nativity scene last year. Nativity scene might not have been here last year because the figure of the baby Jesus was stolen.
Hiroko took three pictures because this whole scene did not fit into one photo. It is very difficult to make three photos into one photo.
Three Wiseman were stolen from the private house decoration somewhere in Chicago suburb. Isn’t it a shame to steal something like these figures.
These Chicago’s “dead trees” called by a 5 years old Hawaiian boy, are decorated by the light beautifully.
Now, they are live with small light flowers
Day time and night time view of those trees
Hiroko took these photos while walking. The lights were making interesting shade.
The Light is very important symbol for the Chrstians. Jesus is called the “Light of the World.” All Christian should be a beam of light mentioned in Bible.
Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light
13“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
What does the light do? The light gives the bright light to the darkness. People would be lost or stumble down in the darkness. Christian nature should be as the light, and then what and how should Christian be living in this dark world? Please leave your comments and let’s talk and learn about it.
